Despite telling anyone who asked about the flush of her cheeks and smile on her lips that Rosie would be her Valentine, just as she had been every other year prior, that was something still left up in the air. The uncertainty came as ringing in her ears when the work load dulled just enough to leave them alone together. No busy work to excuse themselves to. 

“Everything looks really good, right?” It was an awful attempt at small talk, but the easiest start Kiera could find. “I don’t remember set up taking this long when we were kids, though. You’d just wake up one day and the town was all loved up.” But that was surely because they hadn’t been the ones doing it.

❄️: do you like the holidays better with or without my muse ?

It was an easy question. Rosie had always been a core part of Kiera’s holidays, there was no way the answer would be anything BUT “with”. At least, it was meant to be an easy question. The new hesitation that creeps in casts doubt on just how easy the question really was. Genuine feelings or comfort, what kept Kiera and Rosie coming back together? Was she just as excited to pick up where her best friend had stepped out for a more interesting life, or was it just nostalgia of the holiday season. Would the smell of gingerbread baking always make her want to run back into Rosie’s arms? For now, Kiera decided that just settling on WITH was a good enough answer.
